Trip to Paradizoo and Residence Inn: Writer's Point of View

Living in an unpolluted place seems to be the best moment to enjoy life every day. I can move freely, stare at the amazing ambiance and listen to the soothing sound of the entire place. I experienced all of these just in Paradizoo and Residence Inn in Mendez, Cavite and Tagaytay.

Flowers arranged by the care takers.

The journey started at 8 o’clock in the morning. Our group ride on a van from Gil Puyat Ave. and after almost two hours of travel, we finally arrived at Mendez, Cavite specifically in Paradizoo. As we entered the place, the owner, Mr. Yupangco requested his crews to serve us lunch. The food was so delicious that I almost loved to get some and bring it home. Anyway, after lunch, we had a tour inside the place. There were lots of animals in Paradizoo like goats, butterflies, cows, carabaos, dogs, bees, etc. All these animals are used and even its single fur is also made to produce different products.

Paradizoo has also its own garden for vegetables and flowers which is- as I had observed was all used and none was thrown away- even a single petal. For example is, the juice served when we ate lunch. It smells so good. It has flowers to add attractions and flavors as well. It also has “tanglad” which made the whole juice rich in taste and good smell.

Speaking of the flowers, Paradizoo has its own fantastic and original way of using flowers. They’ve gotten a huge jar filled with water and colorful floating flowers. Mr Yupangco told us that the arrangement of flowers inside the jar represents the mood of the caretaker. Isn’t it amazing?

After that wonderful tour, we ate again. Oh! It is really a paradise in there! Afterwards, our group rested for a while. I mean some members of the group rested. I am so amazed in the place so I decided to take some pictures of the place. It was fun taking pictures knowing that you are in a great ambiance.

An hour had passed, our group headed to Tagaytay where the Residence Inn is located. Residence Inn is just a couple of minutes away from Paradizoo.

Arriving there was a total star struck. Same as Paradizoo, it was a paradise right there. I could see the green forest from the moment I stood up in the balcony. But before that- ( I’m just too excited to narrate the climax) we met Tinker Bell. She went with us and introduces all the animals inside Residence Inn. There were fishes, exotic animals, camel, tiger, lion, cobras, different reptiles, eagles and so much more. After meeting those first time seen animals, my most awaited moment is about to start. That is- zip line. It was exciting to try zip line for the first time especially if you’re in Residence Inn, Tagaytay. Zip line there is really priceless. I can barely see the green ground from above, the blue sea, the wide sky and the whole amazing capture. I felt like I’m flying in heaven. Instead of getting nervous, I felt so relaxed up there. The zip line lasted for seconds so better enjoy those priceless moments.

Residence Inn knows what’s best to attract guest. They even prepared shows wherein guests must participate. This made everyone enjoy the show.

I had spent a great time at Paradizoo and Residence Inn. I’m hoping for the next time I’m going back there- pretty soon. It is really an unforgettable memory and an amazing experience.
